Key Features

FlexGrid offers several advanced data visualization features that are beyond simple grids. These features are listed below:

Flexible data binding
FlexGrid can be used in bound mode, where it displays data from a data source, or in unbound mode, where the grid itself manages the data.
Advanced grid features
FlexGrid supports advanced grid features including cell merging, data filtering, sorting, editing, aggregation etc. You can merge contiguous, like-valued cells to make the data span across multiple cell; calculate totals averages, and other statistics for ranges of cells; and apply filters to each column on the grid.
Hierarchical styles
FlexGrid summarizes data in hierarchical style like a tree. Each record can be expanded or collapsed to expose details in child grids.
Integrated printing support
FlexGrid supports integrated printing wherein it has control over paper orientation, margins, and footer text. With a rich object model, the control provides varied printing events to handle page breaks, add repeating header rows, or add custom elements to each page. You can also show a dialog to let users select and set up the printer.
Advanced grouping and filtering feature
FlexGrid supports grouping as a UI feature through a separate control, FlexGridGroupPanel, available as a separate assembly. Similarly, the control comes with FlexGridFilter component, which provides ad-hoc filtering and is shipped separately to achieve lower footprint.
Custom cells
FlexGrid supports significant customization in the grid through custom cells. The control provides CellFactory class and built-in CellTemplate and CellEditingTemplate to customize visual elements.
Row details
FlexGrid provides the flexibility to show row details in a data template, which can be used to display text, images as well as data bound controls.
